  • a portion of the casing outer peripheral surface corresponding to the back surface of the portion of the inner peripheral surface of the casing in contact with the side surface of the motor 316 in the vicinity of the flow path resistance portion 392c and the flow path resistance portion 392c (hereinafter referred to as “temperature measurement region” in the present embodiment). .) Is a region where the heat of the lubricating oil flowing through the oil groove 392 is transmitted more efficiently than the other part of the outer peripheral surface of the casing.
  • the temperature sensor 376 is a part of the temperature measurement region, and is fixed to a portion of the casing outer peripheral surface corresponding to the back surface of the portion of the casing inner peripheral surface that is in contact with the flow path resistance portion 392c. . Therefore, since the heat of the lubricating oil flowing through the flow path resistance portion 392c is transmitted to the temperature sensor 376 only through the trunk casing portion 11, the temperature sensor 376 appropriately sets the temperature of the lubricating oil flowing through the oil groove 392. Can be measured.
  • the oil groove 392 according to this modification has a longer time for the lubricating oil to pass than the oil groove extending in the vertical direction. That is, the oil groove 392 of the present modification can increase the amount of heat transferred from the lubricating oil to the casing outer peripheral surface. Therefore, the temperature sensor 376 can appropriately measure the temperature of the lubricating oil flowing inside the scroll compressor 301.
  • (2) Modification 4B In the scroll compressor 301 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, the oil groove 392 has a channel width that decreases from the upper side to the lower side in the vertical direction when viewed along the radial direction of the casing 10. However, as shown in FIG. 21, it may have a horizontal flow path.
  • the oil groove 392 according to this modification has a longer time for the lubricating oil to pass than the oil groove extending in the vertical direction. That is, the oil groove 392 of the present modification can increase the amount of heat transferred from the lubricating oil to the casing outer peripheral surface. Therefore, the temperature sensor 376 can appropriately measure the temperature of the lubricating oil flowing inside the scroll compressor 301.
  • the motor 316 is a distributed winding motor, but may be a concentrated winding motor.
  • the flow path forming surface 391 may be a part of the side surface of the insulator.
  • the oil groove 392 is formed by forming a part of the side surface of the insulator into a groove shape. Also in this modification, the temperature of the lubricating oil flowing inside the scroll compressor 301 can be measured appropriately.
  • the scroll compressor 301 according to this embodiment includes two or more elements selected from the group consisting of an oil groove 392 according to this embodiment, an oil groove according to Modification 4A, and an oil groove according to Modification 4B. You may have a combination.
  • the scroll compressor 301 according to the present embodiment further includes an oil return plate 191 included in the scroll compressor 101 according to the second embodiment, and a main frame 223 included in the scroll compressor 201 according to the third embodiment. May be.
  • the above-described modification 1A and modification 1B applied to the first embodiment may be applied.
  • the temperature sensor 376 included in the scroll compressor 301 according to the present embodiment is a temperature in a temperature measurement region other than a portion of the casing outer peripheral surface corresponding to the back surface of the casing inner peripheral surface portion in contact with the flow path resistance portion 392c. May be measured.
  • the compressor according to the present invention has a mechanism for appropriately measuring the temperature inside the compressor, the reliability of the compressor can be improved by performing a protective operation according to the temperature inside the compressor. Therefore, the reliability of the refrigeration apparatus such as an air conditioner can be improved by using the compressor according to the present invention for the refrigeration cycle.
